Four speeches, two road shows, and fifteen engagements make up PM Modi’s jam-packed 39-hour trip to the South

The recent trip to the south by Prime Minister Narendra Modi demonstrated his capacity to fit as many meetings as possible into a little amount of time.

On January 2-3, PM Modi embarked on a busy two-day tour to Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Lakshadweep. He had fifteen separate engagements throughout the jam-packed trip, which lasted for almost 39 hours. These included public programs, roadshows, on-site inspections, and review sessions.

The prime minister left the nation’s capital early on January 2, departing at roughly 6.30 a.m. He traveled to Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, in order to attend Bharathidasan University’s 38th Convocation Ceremony.

Following that, he presided over the opening of Tiruchirappalli International Airport’s new terminal building. Later, he took part in a public event in the same city where he lay the groundwork for other development initiatives in addition to launching project after project. After the public event, a meeting with guests in Tamil Nadu took place right away.

After that, the prime minister traveled to Agatti, Lakshadweep, where he was greeted ceremoniously. The speech he gave at a public event came next.

After that, he traveled to Bangaram and met with important Lakshadweep authorities for a review.

The capital of the Union Territory of Lakshadweep, Kavaratti, was visited by Prime Minister Modi on January 3. After a roadshow in Kavaratti, the day continued with meetings with recipients of several government programs. After that, at a public gathering, he pledged himself to the country and laid the cornerstone for many development projects. Thus far, Lakshadweep has been mostly isolated from India’s economic development. However, the shift has already started.

He explored the turquoise ocean and visited the pristine islands of Lakshadweep; pictures of his trip have gone viral ever since, inspiring many Indians to Google the islands. Like in J&K in 2021 when he pushed Indians to visit Srinagar’s Tulip Garden, many believe that PM Modi’s quick “leisure” visit to Lakshadweep also worked for him, where he greatly boosted the region’s tourist industry.

The prime minister then made his way to Thrissur, Kerala, to participate in an additional roadshow, which was preceded by three meetings and a public gathering.

He returned to Delhi shortly after, arriving in the Capital at about 9 p.m., just to get ready for yet another demanding day.
